ZEFR’s RightsID Team is growing! RightsID is an industry-leader in Digital Rights Management for social video platforms.

Lead with your core team of 4 in developing applications that enable internal and external clients to make clear decisions faster with the most relevant information sooner in the process than ever before

Develop completely new products and tools that will be shared across the application development landscape at ZEFR

Consistently deliver high quality code both personally and as a team

Collaborate on architecture and design with other development teams across ZEFR

Work alongside smart, fun, and driven teams; play basketball, have a snow cone, reign supreme at Pub Trivia Night, battle for your digital life in the War Room, express your creativity in our One Minute Film Festivals, Open Mic Night, or Instagram Challenges, eat cake on Cake Day (gluten-full and gluten-free), get paid to ride your bike to work, and of course, you'll be on the team of YouTube's biggest partner - social video's biggest player.

Here's what we're looking for:

Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Computer Science or related field with 8+ years of experience

3+ years of professional experience as a team lead or manager
